infer_types is indicated in the "IO Tools page" (http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/io.html#io-read-html), but not in the API Reference page (http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/generated/pandas.read_html.html) and library v0.17.1

yeh, that was removed finally in 0.17.0 IIRC (was deprecated for quite a while). it should be removed from the main docs.

I want to keep some numbers in String. How can I do? For example, '000322' is a code in String, not a number.

This has already been asked in several issues (eg also #10684 (comment)), but as far as I can see, the dtype argument is not passed to TextParser (https://github.com/pydata/pandas/blob/master/pandas/io/html.py#L623). It seems not very difficult to do this?

Further I can imagine that others can also be useful, eg decimal, converters, na_values, ...
